Acid Reflux: Barret's esophagus is a change in the lower part of the esophagus that occurs due to chronic exposure from stomach acid. The esophageal tissue changes to resemble stomach tissue. The change can rarely progress to esophageal cancer, it can be treated with medications and must be monitored by periodic endoscopy. Avoid use of medications which can increase reflux (NSAIDS).
